What a fun day this has been! I have a new handmade watercolor sketchbook with deckled edges - and today is my very first entry! Using a new tiny pan of watercolor paints (recommended by a friend) and new watercolor brushpens, I armed myself for a morning of painting inside the Mission Antique Mall. I've never used any of these supplies, so it was quite an adventure! I first wandered around for an hour before picking a subject (I was so distracted by the antiques!) and then, I sketched the ship out with my India ink pen on this fabulous paper. It took me a minute to realize that I had to actually squeeze the pen before water would come out, and then it was right on to mixing my paints. I finished this one and sketched out another, but alas it was time for lunch in the cafe - and it was wonderful! A day well spent! This painting is the 1400th in 1400 days! It must be all smooth sailing from here :)
